Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I quite like the newer versions, but I'm not sure what feature changes there are. The UI is vastly different which I think the source of the unpopularity. I particularly like the navigation pane of Office 2010.
You can compromise between netbook size and notebook speed with something like this:
Not as small as a netbook, not as powerful as a larger notebook, but should be fine for most tasks and still not real expensive.

Oooh, I really like that one! And I could get a DVD/CD thing as an attachment (or whatever it's called) to burn and rip CDs, right?
And I could get it in red.

I adore my 11" Macbook Air and you can get an external DVD drive for it as well.
I'm not trying to push a particular laptop or company, but I think it's worth going a step up from a netbook if it's affordable.
I'm running Office 2003 on Windows 7, if that's a concern. My only recurring problem with it is that Word keeps not remembering my settings. (Has anyone figured out a fix for this?)
Does anyone know of a site like photobucket that allows image hotlinking but with a less prudish TOS? They just yanked a really tame picture of mine, and I'm a little disgruntled.
I'd use flickr, except they have rules that if you hotlink you need to link back to them, and I don't want to.
ita, I could give you ftp access to a folder on one of my sites, if that would work for you.

I agree - the navigation is very different from the classic Office look and feel, but once I got used to it it really was a faster cleaner experience.
ND,
can you give me more information about why you like your macbook air?
I need to get a new Mac laptop in the next 6 months and I'm trying to decide what I will do. I have a 15" macbook pro and I like that it is a "full service" laptop. Do I need another 15" MBP (as heavy as that thing is) or should I get a 13" or go even smaller with a MBA?
